Vermont needs jobs.
It's true there is no housing, even folks that can afford rent struggle to find apartments throughout the state.

But the biggest problem in VT is jobs (imo). I don't know how a state deals with that. How do you attract business to a very rural state? Or how do you help business grow organically, in a very rural state.

It's a hard issue.
